View Poll Results: Do you think JOB saved the Pacers for moving to Las Vegas or Seattle?

Re: Do you think JOB helped the Pacers stay in Indy?

Yes he did. Well not during the actual game. But we know that game led to Tinsley being benched. We know that game led to a film session where heated words were exchanged between the two.

if I were to make a list of the top 5 things Jim did as coach, his benching of Tinsley would be in the top 5, maybe it kight be number 1.

That is one thing I liked about JOB. The FO was hesitant to move on situations. Their hesitancy led to the Artest debacle, SJAX craze, JO's entitlement, Tinsley holding us hostage, lost trades (Augustin, Mayo, and others), and ironically JOB staying too long.

Re: Do you think JOB helped the Pacers stay in Indy?

The players he was playing sucked that was the problem, Ford,Dunleavy, Murphy, Rasho, Head, Murray, Posey, etc, etc, he had better players on the bench but refused to play them.

IF you want to have an actual intelligent dialog try naming names. You never talk about an alternative, you just complain alot using what ever ammo you can think of. It just comes across as if you have a very surface level knowledge base behind what you say. Posey was on this team for 1 season and wasn't even playing when JOB was fired, Mcroberts was not better than Murphy. Didn't TJ Ford get benched(hell I don't even think he should have). If Roy could breathe and stay out of foul trouble Rasho would have played less. Are you digging up Rush v. Dunleavy, otherwise who was better? I barely remember Head. Your aurguments are very weak.

Then I remembered that to you better means loosing games and now I regret spending the time typing any of this.

Re: Do you think JOB helped the Pacers stay in Indy?

Posey was on this team for 1 season and wasn't even playing when JOB was fired, )

Uhm, yeah he was..... He was averaging 18 minutes a game when JOB was fired. In fact, JOB playing him over McBob late against Chicago was a big reason we blew that last game under Jim the Quitter.

Another Posey fact: 88% of his 241 FGA that year were for three. He hit just about a third of his shots. JOB kept playing him.
